State Surveillance of Roma Settlements

Roma settlements were subjected to intensified monitoring by state security services and local police. Authorities compiled household registries, identified informal community leaders, and treated Roma neighbourhoods as potential security risks. These surveillance practices criminalised Roma presence in everyday life, reinforced stereotypes of disorder, and deepened mistrust between Roma communities and state institutions.
